BLOOMINGTON – Junior Skyler Liu swept the springboard events in Indiana swimming and diving's emphatic win over Kentucky a week ago and was named Big Ten Diver of the Week for the first time in her career the conference office announced on Wednesday (Oct. 11).
Liu, an All-American on 3-meter and platform last year in her first season as a collegiate diver, recorded NCAA Zone Qualifying scores in both the 1-meter and 3-meter competitions during IU's season-opening meet. The Hoosier women beat the Wildcats by a score of 218-82, in part thanks to Liu's dominance on the boards.
Liu started the meet by winning the 1-meter event with a score of 301.88 after executing four dives worth at least 50 points to lead a 1-2-3 finish for the Hoosiers. In the 3-meter event, Liu showed composure to hold off Kentucky's Abby Devereaux by 6.45 points with a winning total 303.30 points.
